geez Jon, don't know how you got the arms pointed opposite like that, but even more I don't see how you could have gotten it hooked up that way! not sure about that spring, I'd have to look at one I've got around somewhere, but the
arms ahould be like this in neutral ... poor picture, but
this is the way things line up then, when the notches are straight up, the arms both point toward the engine
you don't have to remove the whole box from the column to fiddle with it, just take the cover off and it'll be easier to see what's going on while the trans rods are still connected - that's the best way to adjust the length of the rods thru the keepers too so those forks are lined up right while the trans is actually in neutral
